Martii 1855 data, suffragiis vestris comprobetur. The Syndicate appointed February 21, 1855, to consider whether in the case of University Prizemen who receive rewards in money, and who wish to expend a part of the money in the purchase of books, permission should be given them to have the arms of the University stamped upon the covers of the books so purchased, and if so with what limitations and conditions, report (12 March, 1855): That, having considered the subject referred to them, they are of opinion that the objects for which the Prizes referred to were established would not be interfered with, but rather promoted, if such permission were given, provided the books so purchased were of suitable character, and the cost thereof confined within moderate limits. With this view the Syndicate recommend, 1. That a Prizeman, desiring to have prize books stamped with the arms of the University, should be required to submit to the Vice-Chancellor the proposed books, with an account of the cost, within six months after the prize is adjudged.

That the Vice-Chancellor should be authorized, if he approves of the books submitted to him, to permit the arms of the University to be stamped thereon, with the name and year of the Prize, and the name and College of the Prizeman; such permission to be recorded in a book to be kept for that Record, purpose, Period within which an exercise must be printed. The Syndicate further recommend that the first and third of the foregoing regulations should apply to those money Prizes which are now directed to be laid out in books, provided that in no case the cost of the books, including binding, exceed the amount of the Prize. 2. As to printing Prize Exercises. Placeat vobis ut regula de Præmiis Academicis, a Concilio Senatus 8o.

That the Report of the Board of Natural Science Studies, dated March 15, 1873, be confirmed, with the understanding that the Members of the University who avail themselves of the use of D' DOHRN's "Station," make reports, in the usual manner, upon the subjects of their investigations. The Board of Natural Sciences report (March 17, 1873):— They have received a letter 1 from Dr Dohrn, the Director of the Zoological Station at Naples, offering facilities for study in the Laboratory of the Station on the same terms as those offered to the Italian and German Governments and to the University of Oxford. The Board are informed that several well-qualified Members of the University are anxious to avail themselves of the unusual opportunities thus afforded. They therefore recommend, That from the Worts' endowment for travelling Bachelors the sum of £100 per annum for three years be granted for the purpose of securing to such Members of the University as the Board of Natural Science Studies shall from time to time nominate, the facilities for studying at the Zoological Station offered in Dr Dohrn's letter. By Grace 2 Dec. 1875, confirming a Report dated 13 Nov. 1875, one table at the Station was retained for five years for the sum of £75 per annum, Dr Dohrn being no longer able to allow the use of two tables for £100 a year. By Grace 24 Feb. 1881, confirming a Report dated 10 Dec. 1880, the arrangement made in 1875 was continued for a further period of five years. Report 28 Nov. 1883. Grace 13 Dec. 1883.

There is, moreover, reason to believe that applications for the use of the table are to be expected from students in other departments of Biology, more particularly in Physiology and Botany. The Board feel that it is almost impossible to overestimate the advantages which the students of Animal Morphology who have worked at the station have derived from their study there, and they think it highly desirable that an effort should be made to secure similar advantages for students in other departments of Biology. The present time is especially suitable for such an effort, as there are several well-qualified members of the University who are desirous of studying at Naples, and Dr Dohrn is engaged in establishing a department for Physiology in the station Dr Dohrn has been unofficially communicated with on the subject, and, in a letter to Prof. Foster, he has expressed his willingness to receive, when desired, two members of the University at the same time, provided that the subsidy paid to him by the University is increased from £75 to £100, a proposal which is similar to the agreement originally made with him by the University (Reporter, May 6, 1873, p. 31). The Board cannot but regard this offer as very liberal, seeing that the Prussian, Bavarian, Italian, and other Governments are increasing their subsidies from £75 to £100 for a single table. In proposing this advantageous arrangement for the University, Dr Dohrn expresses his recognition of the support which the University has afforded to the Zoological Station from its establishment, contributing not a little to its present success. The Board therefore recommend that Dr Dohrn's proposal be accepted, and that Station at ments.
